Zhou Li's flagship Taiping was the first three-layer warship built by the Ming Dynasty. Of course, although the current Taiping has not changed much from the appearance of the original one, the inside is very different. The biggest change is that the speed is more than twice as high as before. After the Thunderbolt Fire installed on the ship has also increased its range greatly after being improved by the Tiangong Bureau.

On the Shuicheng Tower, Ning Zefeng watched the warship leaving the team from completely stationary to high speed, with his brows locked tightly. He was a big expert on the sea. Of course, he knew that in the water battle, the faster side of the warship of the same level meant he could gain an absolute advantage.

The craftsmen in the Laizhou Navy now know this dynamic structure, but the problem is that these extremely precise power systems have extremely high requirements for the materials for manufacturing them, but Qi State cannot produce such high-level materials. He could only sigh, and now he can only hope that the emperor can indeed produce brave men under the heavy rewards. Da Qi can greatly improve the skills of iron and steel smelting, otherwise such a gap will never be compensated.

The Qi Navy warship, which used alternative materials, was about one-third slower than the Ming warships, which was definitely fatal in naval battles.

With a bang, a dark shadow suddenly rose from Zuocha’s mountain. Ning Zefeng looked up at the stone bullets falling from the sky and shouted angrily: "Silly!"

The purpose of the opponent's single warship attack is to lure the long-range weapons of Crab Claw Mountain to expose their range. The most suitable way to deal with it at this time is of course to put the warship in. First, use a catapult with a slightly closer shooting distance to lure it. After the opponent's warship enters the target, the catapults from far and near will be launched at the same time, and the battleship can be blocked in this sea area immediately.

But now, the first one to launch is the trencher with the farthest range.

"The county soldiers are indeed unreliable!" Ning Zefeng sighed. These trenchers with different ranges from far to near were originally arranged by him, which can ensure that there is no dead corner attack in this area. However, no matter how well the arrangement is, it will be useless if there is no suitable person to operate.

In one of his gazes, Taiping beautifully drew a lonely line, and the entire ship suddenly turned from the bow to the left crab claw mountain to the side to the ridge. A row of drainage columns rose in front of Taiping.

Before the water column completely dissipated, Taiping's right rudder plunged in again, and once again a huge stone bomb rose up on Crab Claw Mountain.

Zhou Lizhuo stood on the top of the third floor, staring at the stone bullet in the sky without blinking, but was constantly giving orders. Several commanders were standing beside him. One held a two-color flag and kept waving the flag in his hand according to Zhou Li's orders. The sailors who were controlling the three sails of the main and deputy kept adjusting the angle of the sails. The other two soldiers were half-squatting, but they were holding tightly on the two protruding connecting rods beside him.

These connecting rods are connected to the bottom cabin. Different connecting rods represent the force of sailors in different directions. Each connecting rod is connected to each connecting rod, and different sign rods represent different forward speeds.

Under precise command, the huge warship was like a smooth loach, shuttled forward among stone bullets.

With a thud, a stone bullet hit the deck. With a bang, a piece of wood raised high, and a big hole suddenly appeared on the smooth deck. Zhou Li did not even frown, but shouted sternly: "Pi Li Fire, launch!"

On the top of the third floor, the thunder fire, which had already been ready to go, suddenly bounced up one by one, and the red-hot iron bombs rose into the air. When they just flew up, the red iron bombs in their sight were still flying in the air. When they flew into the air, they turned into big fireballs, roaring towards the Crab Claw Mountain.

Amid the rumbling sound, a raging fire immediately ignited where these fireballs fell, and black smoke rose into the air.

The Taiping advanced dozens of meters further forward, and amid Zhou Li's command, the thunder fire was launched again.

Zhou Li squinted his eyes and looked at the landing point of the iron bullet and shook his head. The thunderbolt fire of his warship could not hit the original formation of the Chac Claw Mountain, but the opponent could take advantage of the advantage of the location and easily smash the stone bullet at him. At this distance, it would be possible to get it unless the large thunderbolt fire on the Ming Dynasty was launched. But the problem is that the Ming Dynasty is too big and far less flexible than the Taiping. Although it can attack the enemies on the mountain, he will inevitably become the target of the opponent.

This is not worth it.

"The thunder fire is freely launched, and the strong crossbow is freely launched." Zhou Li decided to retreat. The enemy's long-range weapons were deployed and the shooting range was discovered, so he didn't have to stay here and be smashed. He often walked by the river, so he would not have to make any more feet wet. In just a moment, the Taiping had been hit several times.

The red-burned iron bullets roared and the firing rate of the thunder fire was fully displayed at this moment. The powerful crossbows and crossbow arrows flew to the top of the mountain with a roar. These powerful crossbows can fly to the top of the mountain, but if you want a strong crossbow to shoot a catapult, you will be extremely lucky.

The thick smoke rolled on the Crab Claw Mountain, completely blocking the Qi army's vision on the top of the mountain. They couldn't see where the Taiping below was, so they could only fire stone bullets down randomly. Zhou Li took advantage of this opportunity to escape from the trap and leave with his longevity.

On the Ming Dynasty, Ning Zeyuan stared at the left and right crab claw mountains and shook his head: "The turtle shell is very hard and difficult to fight."

If you really want to take down the Laizhou Naval Base, you must attack the Water City by attacking the left and right Crab Claw Mountain. The long-range weapons on the third-layer warship cannot pose a threat to the catapults on the mountain. This also means that if you want to take down the Naizhou Base, you must first take down the left and right Crab Claw Mountain. If you cannot achieve the target on the water surface, you can only launch an attack from land.

Turning his head to look at the warships lined up around the Ming Dynasty. After Zhou Li returned, these warships sent signals to the Ming Dynasty to launch an attack.

"Since you're here, let's try it." Ning Zeyuan chuckled, "It can be regarded as honing their skills in controlling warships. The two ships attacked the left and right Crab Claw Mountains at a time."

"Commander, we can't beat them." A guard beside him whispered.

"It doesn't matter if you don't hit. General Zhou has already discovered the shooting range and coverage of the opponent's trencher. If they are still hit, it would be too unsuccessful. It is rare to have such a pure defense to hone their skills. You can't let it go. The Ming Dynasty also leaned over and approached the edge of the trencher on the mountain. If they can't hit, we can beat it." Ning Zeyuan laughed loudly.

Amid his laughter, the Ming Dynasty slowly approached forward, and the two three-layer warships on the left and right were heading towards the left and right Crab Claw Mountain in front of the Ming Dynasty.

Stone bombs once again filled the sky.

The Ming Dynasty accurately stopped at the edge of the farthest range of the catapult on the mountain. Unlike other warships, its entire fifth floor is a complete large thunderbolt fire. The oversized thunderbolt fire's throwing arm is more than twice that of the third-level warship.

"Flash!" With the command of the officer, the huge body of the Ming Dynasty sat back slightly, dozens of iron bullets rose into the air and flew towards the left crab claw mountain.

After Ning Zefeng saw the long throwing arm on the fifth floor of the Ming Dynasty, he knew it was going to be bad, because the Taiping thunder fire was launched before, and the throwing arm on the Ming Dynasty was so long that the shooting distance was obviously farther.

As he expected, the iron bombs flying on the Ming Dynasty not only landed on the catapult position on the top of the mountain, but some even flew over their heads and landed on the back mountain. There were immediately screams from the top of the mountain and the loud rumbling sounds when the catapult collapsed.

What does it mean to be beaten but not to change hands? Zhou Liti had seen it before. Now the Qi army defenders on Crab Claw Mountain also realized that their catapults could not reach the opponent, but the opponent could strike them wantonly. Zhou Li could still run if he could not beat them, but they could run, but the catapult could not run. These giant catapults were fixed on the position, and it would not take a moment to move. At this moment, they could only pray that the stone bombs flying above their heads would not fall to them.

Ning Zefeng, who was on the Shuicheng Tower, had his lips bitten and bleeding without knowing it. Looking at the Ming army warships that were showing off his might outside the Shuicheng, he punched hard on the wall and said sternly: "Star the meteor."

The so-called fire meteor is a ship full of flammable materials, driven by a dead soldier, with three sharp spears installed on the bow of the ship. After rushing out, he uses these three spears to nail himself to the enemy's ship and then set fire to burn.

The gate of the water city suddenly opened, and dozens of fire meteors rushed out quickly. They rushed towards the Ming fleet outside along the narrow waterway. At this time, the Ming fleet moved forward as a whole, not too far from them.

As soon as these fire meteors rushed through this narrow waterway, two Ming warships immediately came up, with ships lined up, and thunderbolts began to fire, and powerful crossbows rushed over with a scream.

Accompanied by loud noises, more than ten fire meteors were as soon as they drove out of the waterway and suffered a devastating blow, one after another, sunk on the sea surface.

Ning Zefeng watched the fire meteors sink one by one, howling in pain. When he was standing, he could clearly see Ning Zeyuan on the Ming Dynasty also staring at him. Seeing Ning Zeyuan raise his palm, stroke the throat, and make a gesture of cutting his throat, he was even more furious.

"Be careful, commander." A personal soldier next to him suddenly screamed and collided with him to Ning Zefeng. Almost at the same time, just as he walked through the water channel of the fire meteor, the waves flew up. Two water ghosts wearing close-fitting water suddenly floated up from under the water. The crossbow arrows with cold light flashed in their hands made a whizzing sound. Two crossbows and six crossbow arrows flew towards Ning Zefeng on the Shuicheng Tower.

Ning Zefeng, who was knocked to the ground by his personal guard, turned over and sat up, looking at the personal guard lying beside him in a daze. The personal guard had two crossbow arrows on his body, and blood was flowing out of his body, and the person had already died.

The arrows on the water city were like rain. After the two water ghosts shot out the crossbow arrows in their hands, they did not see the result at all. Instead, they stabbed them again and tried their best to swim in the distance.

Ning Zefeng, who jumped up, wanted to get closer to the battlements, but was dragged by other guards desperately, and several shields blocked him.

Ning Zeyuan, who was on the Ming Dynasty in the distance, sighed with regret. Everything before was just to cover this fatal attack. Unfortunately, Ning Zefeng's life was very big and he was rescued by his personal guards. It was just a little short of it!
